A Scale Evolution Pattern
Fast deployment
Spec’d by development, not IT
Do what’s easiest to get going
Grow fast
Do more of what you did before
Things break:
cost, performance, and manageability
Enterprise-ready deployment
Cost & operational efficiency
Performance & reliability
Manageable, repeatable

Example: New Analytics
Works when…
Uniform problem
on uniform data
Doesn’t work when…
Multiple problems; non-uniform data
Workloads without balance in
capacity/compute
Have to buy servers to add capacity
Have to buy storage to add compute
Database with Hadoop Map/Reduce
Lots of CPUs
Existing network & DAS
Performance scaling just works
Overwhelms network
Overwhelms storage
Example: New Analytics
Enterprise-ready software solutions
CPU farms
Faster, bigger networks
Hadoop networked storage solutions
